This next week

I'll meet the entire staff (of my school) tomorrow and this next week is all about training and getting to know your peers.

Good things I learned last week:
*I will have a mentor.
*I get health and dental insurance totally paid for!
*I will have 6 evaluations throughout the year.
*I like my new principal.
*I can wear jeans on Thursdays (since there's no class on Friday!)
*I have a lot more freedom about what I teach and how I teach it than I thought.
*I get one prep period each day.

Other than school stuff... I read the Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer last week... all four books. Now I finally know what all the hype is about. I enjoyed them.

I'm on to the Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula K. Le Guin. Should be a quick read.
